Tool Open source
YOINK is a Python terminal note-taking and forecasting tool that stores notes as plain Markdown files with Obsidian-compatible frontmatter and wikilinks. It adds claims, deadlines, confidence levels, machine-testable conditions, and data sources to notes; when a claim is due, `yoink settle` reads the source, applies the test, and writes the outcome and reading back into the note. Supported sources include local files, CSV values, public EVM-chain JSON-RPC readings, and manually recorded URLs.
The terminal interface provides capture, search, link navigation, tags, graph views, claim settlement, and vault health commands. It recomputes the vault from disk without a database or index, and `yoink score` reports note activity, settled-claim accuracy, confidence gaps, and Brier scores. An append-only, hash-chained JSONL ledger records captures, reads, claims, and settlements; the project describes it as tamper-evident rather than tamper-proof. The repository states that it targets Python 3.10 or later, uses only the standard library, has no external dependencies, and is licensed under MIT.
